Welcome to my blog

I hope you enjoy reading my posts, and please leave me a comment. I always enjoy reading them, and will try to visit you in return.

You are welcome to copy any of my designs, as long as you do not take credit for them yourself. I am very happy for you to sell them. If I have used anyone else's design, I always try to give credit where it is due. If I have missed anything, please let me know and I will put things right.

This is intended to be mainly about my crafting stories, as a personal record of what I do. However, I interpret crafting quite widely, not just paper crafting but other things too. I have a butterfly mind and like to change from one thing to another depending on what I feel like on a given day - knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, cards, baking and several others.

Pixie's Snippets Challenge 15

Not a lot to show for the snippets this week, sorry, Pixie. I suddenly realised that I needed to complete six cards for my friends for next weekend. Four of us meet up once a year, rotating round the houses, and next weekend is the date for this year. We were at high school together, and were always very close, although we did not meet up much after school and university were over. Since we have created our official yearly reunion, we have been lucky enough to have fabulous weather for it, so fingers are firmly crossed for next weekend.

As the Post Office has seen fit to hike the cost of stamps to such a tremendous amount, I decided that I would take all their birthday and anniversary cards with me for them to open on the relevant days throughout the year. At least I can be sure they will arrive and not be battered in the post.

However, I did manage to put together a couple of cards for the playground from bits that had been started last year. Both images were printed out last year, so I am not 100% certain where they came from. I think that the cornflower is a Clarity stamp, but the poppy is definitely a digital image. I am seriously into poppies at the moment, they are simple flowers and show the shading well.

I hope I am going to make it into the playground this week as I am running late again. If I get there, I will meet you over by the hopscotch place. Have fun, all of you, and thank you, Di, for being such a patient and kind head teacher.

Loving your poppy card. Sucvh a good idea to hand deliver your cards. Stamps are the new petrol shortage!!! You only have to mention there is going to be an increase or a shortsage and the whole of the world goes into stampede mode. Hugs Mrs A.

About Me

My name is Margaret, and I was happily married to Geoff for over 43 years, until his devastatingly sudden death at the beginning of April, 2013. Both our children are now married and have given us lovely grandchildren to play with. After years of having nutty Burmese cats, I now have two even nuttier working cocker spaniels to keep me busy and amused.
I only got started on card making in about 2006. My craft room has now become a craft house, like many others of you out there. Crafting is so addictive but great fun.
